hello november!!

i just wanted to document finally opening my switch and setting up animal crossing?!! 🥺🥺 i’m already captivated by how CUTE everything is haha. i will be back with study-related posts because AHHHHH, i’m FINALLY in my 4th year of nursing school?!! this is absolutely wild although it’s what i’ve been working towards since the start of my degree lol ;))

i’m not sure what happened to me and this blog.. i’m hopefully back because i miss the old me who was more diligent and who kept track of my studies. i lost myself for a bit while facing what everyone in post secondary goes through with the whole self identity and self growth... basically, i’ve been facing failures upon failures (and my brain’s intensifying these not so positive emotions because i don’t know how to deal). i’m in my 3rd year of nursing and i’m absolutely terrified that i’m doing everything wrong. plus, i really miss updating my blog as i used to. my initial purpose of creating this was to treat it as a diary for myself to look back and be proud. i am going to work towards that again and i hope that, in this process, i can create friendships with others as well!

thurs: picture of my flowers

i only own these baby breaths that i’ve dried out. i’m not at the state to care for and grow plants (which is one of the things i want to do when i move out ☺️☺️) so these do for now! plus, i sometimes use them in my journaling ;)

wed: picture of (one) of my bookshelves ;)

lol, i don’t have much physical copies of books (since i use ibooks and other virtual /free/ options...). this is more like storage space 😅 i’ve also been very productive with non-studying things lately and have cleaned out quite a bit! i’m a terrible hoarder so this is a step towards improvement hehe

tues: picture of the sunset

unfortunately, i didn’t get a great glimpse of the sunset tonight because of the trees.. but, we had hail, then rain and these clear skies after created a soft breeze which was extremely wlecomed! the 2nd was a gorgeous sunrise a couple weeks ago and i just wanted to share :))

mon: picture of my family’s pet

meet ragnarok! we call him “ragnar”. initially, my brother’s pet and my mom wasn’t too happy but he’s grown on her and the rest of my family haha. personally, i’d love to own a smaller dog or another kind of pet when i live alone :))

thurs: best advice you’ve ever been given? i recall speaking with a trusted friend about some academic struggles and experiencing burnout.. they said something along the lines of taking as much time as i need. although, this may sound generic and it’s a quite common, simple piece of advice, it was how my friend said it to me that gave me all the reassurance i didn’t know i needed at that time. so here’s to anyone who ever questions their existential existence or the reason for what they’re doing, go at your own pace. giving yourself set time/age limits of when a goal or something should be completed simply adds unnecessary stress (or so i’ve found in my experience) 😊

✨week four✨

double post?!! lol, cause i’m terrible at being consistent! i wanted to share my new bedding from shein (wowww?!! such great quality for an affordable price and fast shipping!)

mon: biggest tip for staying focused? braindump. i like to either write out or speak out all my thoughts/musings if i have difficulty with my focus. i find it extremely helpful for myself to weed out my thoughts :)) then i have a clearer mind to focus on schoolwork or tackling a task!

holy crap, i suck at this... haha i just finished 2 of my spring courses last friday. i started my summer course w/ a practicum just today! it’s been a busy week w/ school, life, and rearranging my whole room! i got a new shelf as an early birthday gift >.<

wed: biggest goal for the year? personally, i wanted to be more active and branch out socially! so far, i think i’ve achieved and maintained this goal because i’ve been exercising daily for over a month since the quarantine! also, i’ve planned social events for my friends and i :)) despite the stress because i am an introvert, i do enjoy human interactions from time to time haha

thurs: a song that makes me happy no matter what? seoul by RM, but also his whole album: mono. it makes me happy in a good, melancholic way

fri: favourite tv programme at the moment? i used to looove ytv and treehouse. i’ve completed bob’s burgers which i really enjoy! right now, i’m watching 13 reasons why w/ my sister

sat: favourite place in the world (that i’ve been to)? i really enjoyed hiking in banff and my fave restaurant is a local jamaican cafe ;)). i also loved chicago because of the memories i made there when i went to my first bts concert!!

sun: what is your favourite joke? lol, i actually recently used a joke from friends. i took ross’ knock knock sandwich joke for my drink that i placed in the fridge for a later time hahaha so my siblings wouldn’t drink it

✨week two✨

mon: desk/study space

okay, so i’ve missed the past 4 days... but i want to answer them anyways! it was hard after missing 1 day because i’m a “perfectionist” but i’m trying to let that part of me go... last week:

thurs: how are you keeping active? i’ve been following youtube and doing exercises daily (started in may!). ironically, i was literally bedridden for both thursday and friday because i was in a lot of pain :(

fri: favorite subject/topic to study? i’m taking 2 nursing courses and i enjoyed the unit about MAiD and ethical dilemmas since i would be stumped if i ever were in such a situation... i’m also planning to take up learning korean since i had to stop last time because of school

sat: where in your house is your favorite place to study? i enjoy working in the dining room, living room, and sometimes my own room (when i can actually focus)

sun: what are you doing to relax? i am currently watching the latest seasons of bob’s burgers and rewatching cardcaptor sakura(!! it’s out on netflix?!!). i also enjoy spending time with family without any screentime
